Abstract

This is the first study to investigate the secondary structure of 5.8S rRNA in M. hypopitys and related Ericaceae species. The identified nucleotide substitutions are localized mostly at the 3' and 5' ends of the gene, in the region of the third hairpin, and do not significantly affect the topology of the secondary structure of the 5.8S rRNA molecule.
